Chapter 760

Author: Eggsoup
The crash was not loud in the large banquet hall, so it did not attract much attention, but a manager who was patrolling nearby noticed and went over.

This manager was different from the one who brought Sylvia in. He came over and reprimanded her, "What's wrong with you? How could you be so careless? Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Springsteen!"

Sylvia pursed her lips and did not say anything. She could not speak. If she did, Lily would recognize her voice.

When the manager noticed her remain silent, he became even angrier and was about to scold her again, but Lily suddenly spoke up. "It's not her fault. I didn't hold it steady."

"That's also because she did not serve you well. I apologize to you on her behalf." The manager nodded and bowed.

"It's okay." Lily smiled coldly and suddenly added, "But my shoes are dirty."

The manager quickly said, "I'll get something to wipe them for you."

"Let her do it." Lily looked at Sylvia, her expression coldly contemptuous and condescending.

    Sonia still remembered what happened before. Not only did Sylvia make her lose her engagement to Tristan, but as a result, her father also coldly ignored her for a long time.'She's just a slightly famous painter. What's the big deal about that? I didn't expect her to work here as a waitress!'Dad recently wants to make connections with the Springsteen family. If I teach this b*tch a lesson, it should make Master Carter's fiancee, Ms. Springsteen, very happy, right?'At that thought, Sonia raised the wine glass in her hand without a second thought.Splash!The wine immediately splashed on Sylvia's face.Sylvia stiffened.Sonia looked at her with a cold smile. "I don't want to move. What are you going to do about it?"Sylvia's hands that were hanging by her sides clenched, and she could not help but glare at Sonia.Sonia snorted a laugh. "Oh, weren't you quite capable? Didn't you remarry Master Carter again? Why were you dumped again and end up doing the lowly job of cleaning s

    Some ogled, some watched indifferently, and some held disgust.At the front table, Ramona's face was full of contempt and anger.Mrs. Springsteen laughed condescendingly and looked away as if she felt dirty just looking at Sylvia.Lily's composure was elegant, but the corners of her lips could not hide a contemptuous smile.The man who was surrounded by several people who wanted to toast him suddenly stood up. It seemed like he could not believe that it was her. His handsome face sunk the moment he saw her. His dark eyes were instantly filled with anger.Sylvia's skin tingled, and her body was so cold that she shivered.After freezing for a second, she forcefully pushed away Sonia, who was still trying to cause her trouble, and ran outside the banquet hall as fast as she could. She did not even care about supporting her belly as she dashed outside. All she wanted was to get out of here and disappear from this world!She ran out of Paulonia Hotel's entrance to the road and only s

    That woman made a spectacle of herself today.Even if Odell cared about her, he would hate her even more....Meanwhile, the tall figure of a man walked out of Paulonia Hotel.Outside the entrance was a flat and wide open space. He looked around a few times, but he could not locate her figure.'Did she leave by car?'Immediately, he took out his phone and called her. The line rang, but no one answered it till the end.He called again, but it still remained unanswered. His expression went cold as he called the driver.The call connected quickly, and he said, "Bring the car here now!"Before long, the driver drove the car from the parking lot over to the entrance.Odell got into the car and instructed, "Go to Sylvia's place.""Yes, sir," the driver answered and turned the car around.The car drove steadily on the road.The man sat alone in the backseat. The scenery outside the window flashed by, but his mind kept going back to the scene he saw in the banquet hall.She had b

    Odell did not linger and strode in.Then, he saw the figure on the bed, wrapped in the quilt and shivering. He walked directly to the bed, raised his hand, and ripped the quilt off her body.He instantly stripped the large quilt cocooning her and threw it onto the floor with one hand. Then, he suddenly froze.At that moment, Sylvia was curled up in a ball with both hands violently gouging herself. Her wrists and the back of her hands were all covered in blood and dripped down. However, she seemed to feel no pain and continued to scratch herself.Her blood was reflected in Odell's dark eyes, and he shouted coldly, "Stop that!"Sylvia's fingers trembled before continuing again.At the same time, her tear-blurred eyes looked at him without focus. Her voice trembled and was filled with careful pleading. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin Aunt Ramona's birthday party. I just wanted to see Liam and Isabel. Don't send me back to Galston. I don't want to go back. Please don't send me back

    When Sylvia was about to reach Odell's side, he turned to look at her.She had been secretly peeking at him. When he suddenly looked over, her eyes widened, and she immediately tried to go back to her seat as though she was a guilty thief.Odell pursed his lips, wrapped his arm around her back, and pulled her to his side. Then, he looked down at her.Sylvia's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curled at him with a pleasing smile. She looked a little silly.He snorted coldly.After a while, she said, "Actually, I'm fine. My hands are just a little itchy."Odell ignored her.She explained, "I got the injury on my left arm after I scraped myself when I accidentally fell."He pursed his lips as his face turned cold again. 'That's clearly a cut from a blade, but she claims it's a scrape? Does she think I'm a fool?'Sylvia saw his cold face which was seemingly unwilling to listen to her. She immediately pursed her lips and stopped talking.In a short while, the car drove

    Sylvia followed Odell out of the car.As soon as they reached the door, a young woman in a white shirt came out. She smiled at Odell. "Good afternoon, Master Carter."Odell replied, "Good afternoon."Skylar then looked at Sylvia and asked, "This is Ms. Ross, isn't she?"Her smile seemed to be contagious and was very affectionate.Sylvia smiled politely. "Yes.""My name is Skylar O'Brien.""Hello."Skylar then said to Odell, "Let's talk inside.""Sure."He held Sylvia's wrist and led Skylar and her into the cafe.The cafe was quiet as there were not many customers. Sylvia followed them to a seat by the window. The light from outside spilled in, and the area was very spacious.She and Odell sat on one side whereas Skylar sat across from them.At that moment, a waiter came over and asked, "May I take your order?"Skylar smiled and said, "I'd like a latte."The waiter then looked at Odell and Sylvia.Odell said, "Black coffee."Sylvia echoed, "Same for—""She wants a pot

    Thinking about what happened at noon in Paulonia Hotel, Sylvia immediately looked at Odell while she clenched her hands uncontrollably.Skylar's eyes flickered, and she looked at Odell. "Master Carter, I'd like to talk to Ms. Ross alone. Can you step outside for a while?"Odell looked at Sylvia. She did not dare to meet his eyes and lowered her head.He frowned, then got up and walked out of the cafe.The moment his tall figure left, Sylvia lifted her head and sighed in relief.Skylar smiled. "Ms. Ross, can you tell me now?"Sylvia frowned. 'If I tell her, will she tell Odell?'Skylar added, "Don't worry, Ms. Ross. What you tell me is a secret between us. I promise you that I won't tell anyone about it."Sylvia's expression relaxed, and she said, "I was indeed in a bad mood today, but I didn't want to do it. I just couldn't control myself.""Does this usually happen when you're in a bad mood?""No.""When's the last time you hurt yourself?"Sylvia's gaze darkened as she loo

    Skylar soon walked away.The sun had not set yet, and the golden light shone straight through and illuminated their bodies.Perhaps it was because of the nice weather, or maybe because Sylvia was in a relaxed mood after a nice chat with Skylar that she asked him directly, "Odell, I've finished talking to her. Can you take me to see the children now?"Her cheeks had a natural blush, and her eyes were shining. It was the opposite of the way she had looked in the banquet hall in Paulonia Hotel at noon.Odell's eyes flickered slightly. He curled his lips up imperceptibly and walked forward.Sylvia immediately followed him. Afraid that he would go back on his word, she grabbed his sleeve. "Where are you going?"Odell looked at her. "Are you going to meet them dressed like this?"Sylvia looked down at herself. She was still wearing the Paulonia Hotel's waitress uniform, and her body was still stained with wine. Not only was she filthy, but her hair was also a mess.Her eyes flickered

    She was her usual self in every aspect. She put her heart into her job and never started trouble so long as nobody tried to start trouble with her. The crew cycled through their locations during their shoot. The constant travel made her skin break out slightly, but there were no other concerns otherwise. The shoot progressed very smoothly and within three months, they managed to wrap up everything at the mountainous region previously mentioned. It was nearly evening when they wrapped up the shoot. Holding a bouquet in hand, she took a group picture with the crew and celebrated with everyone. After that, she planned to hitch a ride with another crew member and leave for home. To their demise, some men in uniform who claimed to be the road maintenance technicians showed up to break the bad news to them. They mentioned that they had to repair some of the roads urgently and so the way home was temporarily obstructed. The director took his phone and called the city hotline fo

    He remembered his first meeting with Isabel. She was sitting all by herself on the floor, in the middle of nowhere. Her vulnerable expression only made her more endearing. So, he managed to get her to go to his place and installed her in his home. He fell for her and paid careful attention to all her needs. It did not take long before Isabel caught feelings for him as well. The two of them got together in no time. Their days were plain and ordinary, but also very fulfilling, that was until he met Clarice. With the help of his father, his power struggle with Roland had reached a tipping point. It was at that opportune moment when Clarice’s father saw something in Roland and planned to wed his daughter Clarice to him to join up their families, which was a cause for alarm for Decker. He stressed over it for an entire night before approaching Clarice himself the very next day. Clarice quickly caught feelings for him as well. Furthermore, Roland had been foolish enough to reject

    Decker was smiling quite earnestly at Isabel. Isabel threw a deeply suspicious look at him, then she glanced at the stack of documents laid out on top of the table in front of her. “Transferal of Shares.” She was dumbfounded. "I've gone through the contract, it’s safe to sign so go ahead.” Roland picked up a pen and handed it to her. "Roland, I..." "Sign it first, I’ll explain when we get home.” Isabel frowned and tried to protest. "I—" "Don't make me have to beg." Isabel did not know how to respond. Fine. She briefly scanned through the contract. The contract stated Decker’s agreement to transfer the remaining forty percent of his shares in Rockwell Corporation to her. Roland must have talked to the shareholders of Rockwell Corporation about this as well. They all regarded Isabel with polite smiles. Isabel had flipped through the final page of the document. She signed her name on one of the marked-out sections. She proceeded to sign all thr

    They ended the call shortly after that. Isabel glanced at Martha and was hesitating if she should break the news right away. Martha seemed to have sensed her staring and suddenly turned to her with a flash of concern. "Isabel, what's wrong?" Isabel took a deep breath and broke the news. "Auntie, Master Rockwell just passed away." Martha's eyes widened. After a lengthy silence that lasted more than ten seconds, she started to break out in tears. She covered her face with her hands and expressed amid bouts of tears mixed with laughter, “Wonderful! About time! I hope he enjoys life in the underworld. God knows that someone like him will never deserve a spot in heaven!” Isabel did not know whether she should celebrate with Martha or console her. Soon, Martha began to collect herself. She briefly wiped away her tears and joyfully took Isabel's hand. "Isabel, let’s go shopping! I’m in such a good mood today, I’m going to go on a shopping spree!” "Okay. But Roland w

    Isabel held onto Roland's hand firmly during the entire drive home after leaving the hospital. It was because Roland’s hands were cold and rigid. Isabel sat with him and tirelessly rubbed his hand to keep them warm. After one hand was warm, she would shift her attention to the other. By the time she managed to warm the other hand, the original hand would turn cold again. She decided it was easier to take both of his hands and caress them with the warmth of her palms. Roland looked at her with a gentle glow deep within his eyes. “Thank you, Isabel,” he said softly. Thank you for loving him, and for sticking by his side all this time despite circumstances. Isabel smiled. “I’m just warming your hands, it's no big deal. Still, you’re welcome." Roland smiled faintly and left it at that. Soon, his hands began to warm up off of the heat of Isabel’s palms. When Isabel felt that his hands were no longer freezing, she prepared to pull her hand away. That was when

    Decker looked nothing like his usual self. The pompous, arrogant man who held himself far above others and who expected everyone around him to kiss up to him because he was superior to them all. It was as if he had been plunged not only to Earth but a pile of swamp. He had completely lost his usual grace. Isabel said crossly, "Decker, have you gone mental? Is everything going on too much for you?” “Yeah, could you help me?” he said with a coy smile, “Just one hug should be enough to take care of it all.” Isabel rolled her eyes. Without warning, he suddenly braced himself and lunged right at Isabel, stepping past Brandon who was caught off guard by this sudden attack. Isabel barely had time to react. Just when it seemed like his hand was about to graze Isabel, a long pair of arms seized Isabel from behind and jerked her backward. It was swiftly followed by a long, muscular leg shooting outward right next to Isabel. Thump! Decker was kicked to the ground.

    "How did you and Roland meet?" Decker suddenly asked. Isabel turned away, fully intent on ignoring him. "Did you meet each other at Carter Corporation? Or did you meet him outside of work and gradually fell in love with him, then you decided to set him up with a position at Carter Corporation?” What did he mean by that? Was he insinuating that Roland was relying on her to snake his way into Carter Corporation? She threw a sideways, belittling look at him. "Do you think Roland is anything like you? He wouldn’t latch on another woman to further his goals.” Decker was not upset by this as he continued with a smug smile. "Oh? Then how did he get into Carter Corporation?" “He proved his worth.” Isabel realized that she had been roped in by Decker again. Nevertheless, she continued, “He passed the interviews himself. I was one of the interviewers and initially planned to dismiss him, but he managed to leave a very good impression on my father and the rest was history.” "

    "I never meant to kill him! Roland, you have to believe me. Why would I still try to deceive you when I’m in this state?” “In that case, you can go ahead and explain things to him in the afterlife.” Master Rockwell was taken aback by this, his demeanor tightened. "You...you..." Roland looked at him calmly. "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. It was Grandma and my parents who raised me. They instilled morals and virtue into me and made sure I’d grow into a decent man.” Master Rockwell was briefly relieved to hear this, but before he could rid himself of his trepidation, Roland continued in a dark voice, "But I won’t forget about you and Decker bribing all those media outlets to defame Isabel. I know you manipulated the stock prices to try to kick me out of the corporation. I’ll make sure to settle our score through the legal system.” If convicted guilty, they would have to rot in prison. “Roland… listen to me, Roland. Decker is your uncle. If you want revenge, you can come

    Master Rockwell must have heard their shifting movements and opened his eyes. When he recognized the faces of Roland and Isabel, there was a brief glow in his murky eyes. He motioned to the nurse to have her help him sit up from the bed. After he managed to position himself seated up against the head of the bed, he asked the nurse to leave. Then he cast a loving, tender smile on Roland and Isabel. “Roland, Isabel, please have a seat.” Roland said disinterestedly, "We have things to get to, just hurry up and tell us what you have to say." Isabel stayed silent. A look flashed in Master Rockwell's eyes. Then, he turned to Isabel and expressed regretfully, "Isabel, I’m a foolish old man, it was me who told Decker to leak pictures of you two. He had no choice because I forced him to do so. If you have to blame someone, blame me!” Isabel frowned. She was somewhat impressed by how smoothly the old man switched his mask from one to another. From a forlorn and sad state t
